i am trying this too. on this particular proxy provider it says that it is set for a single computer by default. it states that you have to reconfigure it to be seen by multiple devices... does anyone know how to do this?

By using safari I must have set it up correctly as my P is turning green and a radar spinning comes up which it didn't do before..
Can I just say, the in the guys video, the OP, his address is not 127.0.0.1, its a longer number. Could this be his I.P? or soemthing

I think that's the main reason. That or the connection to the PS3 adn the router is slower than teh connection from the PC to the Router.

That's kind of what I was wondering. I have had other problems with PS3 and networking issues. When I first got my PS3 and enable media sharing, it caused my router to reboot constantly. I wonder if maybe there are some bugs left in the PS3 net code.

You could try it. It couldn't hurt.

I'm off travelling home now though. yay! lol.. Post again in 3 hours (ish) when i get home.

Good luck and I'll let you guys know how I get on with the OS X version. Maybe we can share info lol.

this forum is dumb.. you get infracted for posting a pic of a sexy lady with a barley see through top on, yet its ok to post video of interspecies sexual assault

So I used the same adress as the guy in OP
192.168.1.100
It seemed to work for a moment and didn't fail me straight away only taking about 30 seconds this time.
I was thinking, would I need to set up a static IP for it to work?

In the CMD console, type, "ipconfig /all" and hit enter, a bunch of stuff comes up, look for the bit that says,

"IPv4 Address" - Next to this over on the right will be your IP address. Put that IP in the bit that I said above. Save that Notepad and close it.

Go to your PS3 network settings, do all your usual settings, and in the proxy part use the settings you just found. So, the IP address is the one you got from CMD and entered into Privoxy, and the port is, "8118".

StaticAge,
I have entered all the details you told me to however when I enter the details in the ps3 is finds my IP address but it fails on the "internet connection" part. Do you have any ideas? thanks

Static, I was just about to suggest what you pointed out, that they need their specific ip address. This was a very interesting thread to read from start to finish, i love problem solving. +rep btw because no one gave it to you yet. I would love to try to help all but I can't test myself because I am stuck with my g/f's terrible lap-top and a bad connection in italy.
